hi i'm sara :). i'm new to this. my mom told me about this because she knows how upset i am about my weight. i recovered from anorexia and since then i have gained almost 50 pounds! 20 of it is unnecessary though and i was told that it is okay to lose it. since getting help i have lost all of my self control and that is how i gained weight so quickly. i have eaten up to 6,000 calories in one day i it kills me knowing that i can't stop. now i am trying to lose weight the healthy way without hurting my body.

i'm also looking for new friends so anyone can feel free to add me and we can support each other :).

    Hi Sara! MFP rocks, this is a great place. :) Congratulations on your recovery, I know you can have a healthier relationship with food because you've already started trying with MFP. Be safe as you know, take care of yourself - and welcome!! :)

    Hey sweetie. I know how hard it is to get over that. I was anorexic aswell for about a year and a half... I have gained roughly 25 lbs since and feel like I'm losing the battle against food. If you ever need to talk I am here.

    Hey,

    Good luck with your goals!! And congratulations on your recovery. I have been through something a little similar where I developed highly unsafe eating habits and then after a year or so began bingeing out of control! gained about 14 kgs.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you need extra support :)
